Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8 ESV)
This Sunday, May 24th, 2026, at 11AM, we will officially host our 187th Homecoming Celebration. Shoal Creek Baptist Church has a rich history that began almost two centuries ago. According to historical archives, Shoal Creek was originally planted as a Missionary Baptist Church by Canton First Baptist Church in 1839. Over the past 187 years, so much about our church, the community, our nation, and the world has changed. We remain grateful for the enduring truth of the Gospel and the unchanging character, nature, and promises of Jesus Christ!
For those who didnβt grow up in church, Homecoming may be unfamiliar. This wonderful time of year is a moment we pause as a church to give God thanks for His faithfulness to the generations of church members before us. It is a time to remember some of the amazing, historical facts about the church as we celebrate our roots and acknowledge our heritage. It is a time for family and friends who have experienced the life changing, life giving ministry of the Holy Spirit in and through Shoal Creek to gather to celebrate. Homecoming is also a time for new families and friends in the church to celebrate joining countless thousands across almost two hundred years to fulfill the Great Commission.
